    This job is responsible to purge the responses of triggered instructions that are older than the value for Instruction response keep days property. After deleting the responses this job marks the status of the corresponding triggered instruction as Purged. So in short, this job deletes the responses of a triggered instruction record.

  2. 1E Platform - Retrieve Devices:

    To support the custom connector, a new button Retrieve Devices is added on both the single-tenant and multi-tenant configuration pages to retrieve all the devices from 1E into ServiceNow. This button triggers an integration to import all the devices into ServiceNow. This schedule job is disabled by default and the user needs to enable it as and when they want it.

    This job is executed on a daily basis at midnight.

    This scheduled job should be executed before enabling the new custom connector changes. So that the devices are pre-stored into ServiceNow, limiting lag in the new functionality of custom connector. Refer to Enhanced support for custom connector.
